Liked: The location is perfect for the Acropolis tour and many other places.
The staff(forgot the name of the girl) was extremely kind and helpful. The room was clean and the locker was quite spacious. Terrace is cool in spite of the cold weather.
A full kitchen was included in the room, so could prepare for your own meal.

Disliked: Breakfast could be little better I guess. (well you can pay extra and fix yourself little better).
It is a studio and there is no common area, such as living room, to chill out and meet new people. You have to go to the sports bar downstairs.
No towels.

Liked: An ok place to stay. Its not bad but for what i paid i would rather consider staying in an apartment with air bnb. As apart from the apartment(which is pretty nice) you don't get any other perks of being staying in a hostel(as advertised on there website). The very first day we have been greeted by the very friendly and helpful staff, but after that it was pretty average. The girl who was on the reception on the second day wasn't very helpful, wasn't really bothered to tell us anything about this beautiful city. Where as the other staff were completely opposite. This place is located in the one of the finest places in the city and i will give it 5 out 5 for location. It is easily accessible from port or airport.Room were cleaned and comfortable, with cooking facilities, two air conditioner and balcony in each room. There is a sport bar downstairs which is a good way to kick start the night. Also the open air cinema is also 10 mins walk.
Overall not a bad place to stay but there is room for improvement when it comes to customer service.

Liked: The studio was big with a very comfortable bed. Big balcony. Really good food downstairs in the fish cafe that you can eat at the sports bar two doors down. It's cheap and tasty. Good atmosphere in the sports bar. Location is excellent really close to acropolis and other sights.

Disliked: The shower screen (frameless, not sliding) didn't extend far enough to the opposite side which meant the water would go everywhere in the bathroom. It needed to be double the length. They did provide a squidgee type scraper but it didn't effectively clear all the water away. In addition, the kitchen had only two small pots, no toaster or tea towel. We didn't bother cooking despite booking the studio for that purpose.

Liked: I liked the location. Christina who was working the desk when we arrived was very helpful. The bar at the Hostel was decent for starting out the night.

Disliked: We were only there two nights and encountered several bugs in our room. The guy working the desk our second day tried to charge us when we asked for extra towels. Only after we happened to stop down after we had all gotten ready with our used towels did he apologize and say he was wrong for trying to charge us and had "planned" to tell us. Also, we chose this place because they advertise hair dryers. They only provide a hair dryer if asked and they only have a few. They had already lent theirs out, and said if we wanted to we could walk all the way to their other hostel to get one from them. Ummm no thanks.

Liked: it was clean and located in very good place near from acropolis.

Disliked: nothing. staff were kind and they clean our room so i have no complaint.

Rachel Burnard

Liked: Great, amazing location right down the street from the Acropolis.

Disliked: Only had one problem when the staff booked a cab to the airport in the morning the second time my friends and I stayed there... we were originally told that the cab from the hostel to the airport would be no more than 35 euro flat rate. The second night we stayed there, the staff was trying to get us a cab for the price of 40euro, but we refused. This was inconsistent and annoying considering they already booked the cab late for us. Also, they only gave us one key to our room for a 4 person apartment because they were "busy" that day... poor excuse. But the location makes up for it these negative factors.

Liked: They have a bar and a laundromat in the same building and offer quite a range of different entertaining services at the bar such as karaoke, quiz etc. Their dorms are with enough sockets for several people, shower is big and convenient to use. Most of the staff is very helpful and great people are staying there.

Disliked: Their Internet works rarely and lot's of people faced problems connected to it including me. The wifi was not available in apartments but they fixed it later although the speed leaves much to be desired. The linen is washed but with stains, the cattle had a clump of hair in it (good I noticed it before making coffee) - asked to change it, they did.

Liked: Location- very close to the metro station and is very close to the attraction sites (just prob 10min walk to Acropoli). Yet, there isnt much noise at night. The streets feel safe as well.

Disliked: Needed to get the key from another hostel 'cause we arrived after midnight, despite them having a 24-hr reception. Breakfast was so-so: breads (w butter and jam) and egg. You have to pay for the other options.
